The recent Rojo Mojo Spanish Red Wine competition, sponsored by Wine Alliance, drew a large entry from all over the country and the winner was Paul Sharkey of Watergrasshill Utd. Well done Paul. And most of you knew that Cork wore white jerseys in the 1973 All-Ireland.

With the midweek games having come to an end, maybe a few of you are looking for something sporting to read.

I just finished reading The World is a Ball by John Doyle, a Canadian with Irish parents. It is his take on the World Cup and Euro Championships of the last ten years or so.

But don't expect a kick by kick account. This is more to do with the fans and the atmosphere as this enthusiast, who suffered from the effects of the infamous "ban", before going to the melting pot that is Toronto, criss-crosses the world, often at his own expense, to bring you the story behind the big games and also the small games and including quite a few Irish adventures.

It is published in Ireland by Transworld Ireland and the cost on the cover is £12.99 sterling. You can save yourself a few bob though by picking it up, as I did, at your local branch of the City Library. Perhaps the County Library has it as well. It is worth a read. (be sure and read comments below)

"Within a quarter of an hour the majority of the playing surface becomes a muddy quagmire. The nets are held together with multicoloured twine, string and even bits of tape in places. The corner flags are hammered into the ground at each of the four right angles of the playing field but many still manage to topple over long before the final whistle..."

It’ll be Red all over on September 19thand to celebrate Cork’s success in reaching the All-Ireland football final we have a cracking prize for you: 6 bottles of classy Spanish red wine, perfect for the celebrations.

The Rojo Mojo Tempranillo (2009) and the Rojo Mojo Shiraz (2009) are new to Ireland and are being imported exclusively by Wine Alliance

The Question: Did Cork wear red or white jerseys in the 1973 All-Ireland final when, helped by two goals (and a point) from Jimmy Barry-Murphy, they defeated Galway? This is a slightly tricky one – you don’t expect us to give the wine away too easily.

Status of Mossie Linnane League Cup:After the weekend’s action in the above competition let’s take a look at the tables now and see who have qualified for the quarter finals.

Group A: Winners of Group A are Kinsale and they will be accompanied going into the quarter finals by Coachford whose 1-0 victory away to Blarney Street qualified them to advance.

In Group B: Leeside also collected maximum points from their four games establishing them as winners of Group B and as it turned out, Park’s point from a draw with Castleview sufficed for them as they claimed the runner’s up spot which entitles them to qualification as the second team.

In Group C, Grattan cannot be caught having cumulated nine points from three games because nearest rivals Bohemians - with one game to go can only get to eight if they win.Then, depending on results and how they do, Kanturk and Greenwood have still a chance.So, this group have a couple of exciting encounters yet to deal with before we know who gets the runner’s up spot.

Group D: After Killumney’s defeat against Leeds to-day, Ballyvolane are now winners of this group.The fight for second spot was quite extraordinary and Killumney squeezes home here by the skin of their teeth with a two goal better goal difference then Wilton who beat Macroom 4-1 away to-day.

Ireland is playing in the FIFA U17 Women's World Cup that is taking place in Trinidad and Tobago. Cork has four players in this squad: Denise O'Sullivan and Amanda Budden (Wilton Utd), Rebecca Kearney (Lakewood Athletic) and Claire Shine (Douglas Hall) The Cork Schoolgirls League are holding a series of World Cup Parties to give everybody the opportunity to watch the games.
